"Pherhaps." He answered casually. He'd prefer think he stood out from the crowd. Having a reputation meant people had taken notice of him was even if he was just a candidate. What they knew him for didn't seem quite as important. Being brought South was almost like being given a second chance to decide what his future would hold. Previous it had pretty much been decided that he would be a beastcrafter and eventually marry someone nice and have a bunch of kids. Not a bad life really, but now it sounded it bit dull compared with the chance to become a dragonrider and get to do amazing things.
So far his chances to do amazing things had been limited. Doing chores day after day could hardly be called amazing. Flights and hatchings were exciting, but his excitement had been tempered by numerous disappoints over the turns. He was still certain he'd impress, but being patient until that happened was difficult.
Trelanvor looked up, nodding a vigorous yes. "Yup, made me his apprentice to try to keep me occupied and out of trouble." He gave her a roguish grin. "As you can see trouble found me anyway." His brows jumped up in surprise when she said her father was also a beastcraft. "No kidding!" He looked just a little dissapointed that his guess had been wrong, but quickly bounced back. "I suppose taking a Lord Holder's daughter's wouldn't be the smartest thing to do." He conceded. "Though I'm sure you family was super worried about what happened to you and all." He added on a bit sheepishly, not wanting to make it sound like she was less important than a Lord Holder's daughter.
"Yeah their pretty fun to be around most of the time. Unless you have to clean out a wound that's infected or deal with and angry bull. Not a whole lot of peacefulness then." He pointed out with a wry grin. He usually enjoyed working with animals, helping fix whatever might be wrong with them. Unfortunately not ever animal that needed help wanted it. Trel tipped his head, considering her questions. "We worked with a pretty good variety, but mainly herdbeasts and runners. I preferred Runners, bit smarter than somethings and you can ride them. Trying to ride a herdbeast is not as much fun as it sounds like." He finished with a grimace.
